~Return to Stillness~

Ok my friends. The long retreat begins in just a few days. I feel ready, prepared by all that has happened these last 7 years of seeking, of practice and patience. In reflection, I feel such great gratitude for so much: for the many beings of my extended family, the subtle and not-so-subtle grace that permeates my life, for the strength and courage that have discovered themselves in me. My heart is waking up, and I feel its deepest urges...nothing less than the full freedom of all beings everywhere.

May all beings find peace beyond condition! Happiness beyond reason!
